Welcome community to another 1.5 update. This being a slightly larger one then usual! Let's dive straight into some of the bigger changes of this update.

We have new content in the form of 2 new weapons and a vehicle. The PLA will finally see their PKP placeholder on the machine gunner kit replaced with the Norinco QJY-88 light machine gun. This has been a widely anticipated change to get rid of one of the final placeholders. The IDF also saw their arsenal expanded with the IWI Tavor X95 assault rifle which will be featured on multiple kits. MEC will continue to see their arsenal of vehicles expanded with the AMZ Dzik. Technically this vehicle was already introduced with the Polish Forces but wasn't used on any map. It has now been further reworked and will be used or our MEC Forces as a armored jeep on multiple maps.

The mapping team also has some exciting updates! Route E-106 is finally out of the BETA program, while a new map is being introduced through it: Operation Falcon. A 2x2km map features the Dutch and Russian forces. This new 2x2 km map features a fictional battle between Russia and the Netherlands somewhere in the Baltic region. On the alternative layer the Dutch Armed Forces will fight a pro-Russian Militia.If you previously installed Operation Falcon for an event, make sure to uninstall before updating to v1.5.5!

Yamalia also saw a heavy rework by entering the winter season. You can read more details about that here. Lastly, Karbala was updated to fit more realistic with its now Polish Forces layouts to better represent the original Karbala during the Battle for City Hall in 2004.

Vehicles also saw another big update with a change to their damage & disable systems. There are a lot of details to these changes which are explained in detail...

I am proud to Announces that SSG Has a new server, This server will meet our current need as we are launching a Squad server. Because of growing performance requirements, we are moving our game server to the new Dedicated server , here are the main spec

Hey Soldiers,
We've released an update containing a variety of fixes, including one for everyone's most-hated bandage bug. In addition to that, some values have changed, some crashes should be gone, and some fences behave more like fences. Dig in!

Patch Notes​

Fixed mods not loading if a clean installation of Squad was performed.

Hi guys, first of all, thank you so much for your patience over the years. It's been a long time since the beta and we know you're anxiously waiting for updates or better yet, a release date. Unfortunately, the release isn't ready just yet, but we wanted to give you some information about what we're working on. Do note that everything you see here is a work in progress and can change before we release.

With no more delay, here's a peek of what we're preparing for the inclusion of WW2 into PR v1.6.

Vehicles

M10 Wolverine

​

Originally created by the Battlegroup42 mod (BF1942 mod team) and brought to the BF2 engine by Anthony and his team. We plan to implement it into PR alongside other vehicles we could potentially use.

With about 6,400 units produced in 1942 and 1943, the M10 was the most numerous of the American Tank Destroyers of World War 2. Sporting the potent 3 inch M7 anti-aircraft cannon refitted as a tank cannon and the same drive train as the M4 Sherman, it was about as powerful as the aforementioned in terms of offensive capabilities. Its open top turret design however meant the crew was exposed to artillery, shrapnel and rifle fire, whereas its thin armour meant it was quite fragile compared to proper main battle tanks and was supposed to not even engage them over open ground. Overall the M10 was a reasonably successful vehicle regardless of its shortcomings and so it was used until the end of the war despite the fact that its successor vehicles M18 and M36 were already being fielded, not only by the American Army, but by the British, Free French and Red Army as well.

Hey Soldiers,
It has been three weeks since Alpha 11 entered public testing. While Alpha 11 was in a relatively stable state, we released it without fixing many of the bugs you reported right away. Alpha 11.1 is a minor patch to incorporate those fixes. Some of the changes are intended to help with the balance of the game after closely observing gameplay these past weeks.Patch Notes

Reworked bandage / medic bag code for better responsiveness.

Fixed mods not loading if a clean installation of Squad was performed.

Hey soldiers!
Alpha 11 has arrived! We can think of no better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. With Alpha 11, we are continuing to increase the depth of vehicle gameplay, as well as expanding content for infantry. No doubt some expert squads will take advantage of combined arms tactics. Do read up on the changelog while you download!
Alpha Version 11 is now available via Steam. Please always clear your game cache in the game settings on every new build!​

Full Changelog​

Gameplay​

British Armed Forces have been added. They are a high-tech Blue Force faction with a unique bullpup-style primary weapon, and heavily reliant on armored transport to move around the battlefield. Expect to see them make an appearance on a few of the classic maps and also the newly released Kamdesh.

Dramatically reduced the ticket bleed on the middle flags and increased the ticket win/loss when an actual flag area is captured or lost. Neutral flag include a ticket gain for your team. There will still continue to be a "mercy" ticket bleed on the end flags.

Increased the speed at which you get up from prone by 30%.

Tweaked stamina costs for jumping, vaulting, and climbing.

Settle sway time ha sbeen reduced by half on all weapons.

Recoil animation for semi-auto fire has been slightly reduced for greater target tracking.

Hey Squaddies,
While work on Alpha 11 is progressing at full speed, we pulled over a few of the changes that should help improve the experience along the way.

Take a knee, Squaddies!
Back in January, we were lucky enough to partner with our friends at Stack-Up.org for our first Air Assault! The idea was simple: take a couple of lucky veterans from the Squad community and get them in the game. With the help of Animatrik, whom we've previously visited, we've done just that.

​

Getting all the best people into the same room pays off and we couldn't be happier with the results!
We were a bit overwhelmed by the response and it was tough to pick just two winners: Squad's community is filled with some of the toughest, most humble, good-natured military professionals we've had the pleasure of meeting.

William Bee from the USMC jumped at the chance to show us his moves. His favorite games, which include Arma 3, Battlefield 4, and Squad (of course) help him keep in touch with friends, relax a bit, and spend time with his son, who's also an avid gamer. You also might recognize him from some other publications. When he's not playing Squad, he likes to watch Karmakut and DevilDog Gamer get their streaming on.
